DUMPLING

Arfa craving for dimsum & dumpling so bad since yesterday. Actually we ate our dinner @ giant Rimba food court last night and mommy as usual like to order a set of dimsum while Arfa & Anis choose sizzling mee. After he ate a piece of my dim sum, he asked for more. Huhuhu!!! not because we don't want to buy for him but just imaging how much he already eat; donut (pow Ahdia punya), sizzling mee, a bun of chicken pau, 2 pcs of dim sum & a glass of milo.
